So, while I can't claim those experiences are certainly true, or true the way people describe them... It feels equally irresponsible to toss them out.
You've obviously seen John macks work and conclusions?

Also, there are witnessed abductions and implants recovered... That's data.

I guess my take is a bit different here. Similar to the unknown drake ratio of simple life to complex, an unknown shouldn't be replaced with a zero in our theories.
Abductions are anecdotal, but there are so many and psychologists determine the people to be healthy and not delusional.

What is this picture you chose? Makes your whole post look like Ai slop. :)

Gotcha. You looked into it. Nothing there. OK, I can respect that conclusion as long as you checked it out.

Whats the alternate hypothesis that captures the scale and scope of the phenomena?
Mass delusion? I'm honestly interested in seeing the evidence for alternate hypotheses.

Full agree: life is sacred here, and we have heavy responsibilities to it.

But it is a leap to make that case from an increased likelihood that we are alone. Some people go the other way: we are alone, so nothing matters.

Should we at this point discuss the evidence for ufos and abductions?

If the data is insuffient to determine the ratio of life that becomes technological, wouldn't it be equally improper to assume the ratio is 1 : a trillion (or what have you).

Maybe drake picked the wrong number. What number would you pick?
(what number did he pick?)

Evolution selects for many things, one of them is sapience.. Lots of survival value. Don't you think that selecting for sapience leads to technology? It's happened on so many of the branches of the tree!
I think cetceans could get there, but they may need something like fingers first.

How can we say it's unlikely, when we only have 1 example? ;)

U don't think that, given time, most places that produce single cells will produce multi-cells or more complex life?

If you saw one of anything, wouldn't you find it likely there were more, if the same conditions for the 'one' existed elsewhere?
I tried to think of an example... Can u conjure a one?

Psyops are complicated. Almost by definition, they mix fact and fiction. So, while true what u say, Im not sure the conclusion is true (insofar as you alluded to one).

Or to put it another way, funding the narrative in society is how the game is rigged -- and this is evidence that we live in a very democratic society. And it points to where some of our efforts should go (and they do...).

But so many feel like we have no options and no hope. It aint so!

The big money behind Powell River’s controversial name change how American investors and Alberta oil interests are fueling division in small-town British Columbia

wealthy international right-wing conservatives/libertarians are worried about our power and our trajectory of continuing to try to make the world a better place -- they know where it leads.

If the system was truly rigged for the rich, why would they bother?

bummer! I want a cheap chinese EV! what a ripoff!

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

its' a bit tricky too cuz a lot of podcasts won't start you at the beginning.. but ufo rabbit hole from the beginning works like a it of a gradual entry.

It's good because it's open to the full spectrum of possible explanations.

:D

-hulu/Disney series UFOs: Investigating the unknown.
-documentaries: Age of Disclosure, The Program by James Fox, Moment of Contact: New Revelations
-books by leslie keane, john mack, ross coulthard

podcast:
-UFO rabbithole (start at the beginning?)
-that ufo podcast
-weaponized.

Well, best starting point for you depends a bit on your inclinations and media preferences.

Here's a few options:
-a website to poke around at uapevidence.com
-a netflix series Encounters,

Beautiful. No worries. Enjoy the ride down the rabbit hole. U want a starting point?

Totally agree. Except the ufo part... There evidence that ufo-deniers refuse to look at (nor in the direction of).

But ya, climate denial by world leaders/nations is criminal behavior, literally. International criminal court.

Seems unlikely trump would ask permission of other world leaders... But I'd love to see some disclosure. But I wouldnt like the narrative twisting that would surely accompany the revelation.

Except ufos are the bigger deal... Not that I trust trump to really be an arbiter of truth.
Have u looked into ufos?

How public grocery stores could work in Canada - CCPA Public options already exist elsewhere—the secret is building them at scale

I thought @avilewis.ca 's public option grocery stores were a risky bet -- I didn't think they could be anything but a money pit. But I've come around!

America runs public grocery stores: food is cheaper! (small subsidy supports less food deserts)

i like your point. the claim is also only true if you drive enough... a used ebike that you might have alongside your car, undermines the rationale. So it's possible that even if you have a car, you should get the ebike and leave the ICE car in the driveway (if you're main goal is saving money).

The goat.
